New Delhi: Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has slapped a Rs 5 lakh penalty on packaging products company AGI Greenpac for “failure to provide accurate, adequate, and explicit disclosure resulting in misrepresentation to the stock exchanges”.

The SEBI order charged the company for withholding crucial information regarding its deal to acquire Hindustan National Glass (HNG), India’s oldest and largest container glass-making company.

According to the order, it was observed that AGI Greenpac also failed to disclose material developments with respect to disclosures made by it to the exchanges “dated October 31, 2022, and March 16, 2023”. The SEBI said that the company failed to disclose crucial information related to a show-cause notice issued by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to it, submission of modification to the application filed by AGI to the CCI and litigation related to the CCI order approving the proposed combination of AGI and HNG.
